According to the catalog, the unit can accurately measure antenna current from 30ma up to 30 amps. It's range is stated to be 1mhz to 30mhz (but useable well beyond that). As anyone else used this unit on LF? Are there modifications that would make it more useable for Lowfer work? It is priced at $99.95 (US) and I think it would prove very helpful for improving the counterpoise, remote beacon antennas (where it is impractical to install a dedicated RF current meter, etc.) Thanks in advance...
